Home > Consumer Reviews > Belkin Armband Case for iPod nano 1G, 2G (Black)

This case fits the nano perfectly and has openings for all the ports and switches. It's easy to slip on and adds very little bulk. The silicon is quite smooth and not as tacky as others. It's easy to slip into a pocket yet still resists sliding on a smooth surface.

It isn't mentioned in the ad but it does come with a screen protector. It's tucked away in the packaging and would be easy to discard, as I almost did. It too is very good quality, it was easy to install and lays flat without any bubbles. I put it on crooked initially, but it was easy to remove and put it on correctly. There aren't any real instructions but it has tabs that are clearly labeled and they should keep it from being installed inside out.

Bottom line: The quality and design of this case complements the quality and design of the Nano very well.

This is just a plain barebones case. It has a silicone casing that goes around the ipod, and then the strap goes through the back of it (note there isn't really an attachment to put the strap through, it's cut outs in the case itself, so the strap is touching the back of the ipod). You can also just use the case without the strap.

It seems to work pretty well, the strap fits well and doesn't bind up or seem to tight, so it has the right amount of strechiness in it. The one thing that seems to be lacking, is the silicone case does not have anything that protects the screen or click wheel. This is fine for me, but those wanting to use it as a standalone case and throw it in their bag/purse might want to look at something else.

It's an all around simple case and strap that seem well built, it also happens to be under half the price of any other cases out there.

(Nike + iPod users:) The whole bottom is open, including the headphone jack and dock connector. This means the Nike + iPod kit fits right in.

Update: Apparently according to other reviews it actually comes with a screen protector, however I must have thrown it away with the packaging, so watch out for that.

This thing simply does what it's supposed to do and what it claims to do (which, alas, is so much more than can be said for so many gadget add-ons). Perfect fit on the Nano, as others have pointed out, they even include the little screen protector strip which adds protection where it really counts. Buttons and ports are easily accessible, the strap is comfy to wear and easy to get on.

And best of all, of course, the price is exactly right. Apple really should just include something like this with the Nano to begin with -- but at least Belkin's offering is of a design and quality to match what it's made to enclose.

This thing was slipping and sliding all over the place and I constantly had to readjust in so the functions were in place. The slot on the top that is supposed to allow you to use the "hold" feature is completely off so you end up having to stretch the thing over to turn it on and off. The little plastic protector that covers the screen would not stay in place over the screen and I was constantly losing it between the silicon cover and the ipod. I finally just gave up on it and returned it. I bought it because it is one of the only ipod accessories that has a fair price tag. I think I'll just get it over with and buy one of the more expensive options. Was this thing even meant for the Gen 2 nano?

Its a nice sleeve for nano, fits snugly and looks better than a lot of sleeves in the market. The strap is useful when working out and you can remove the strap when you want to take it in your pocket. The screen cover is a bit tough to put on without getting the bubbles on the screen, but if you try hard you should get it on nicely. I recommend this product.
